BMP vs PNG

BMP

A BMP file stores images with little to no compression, which means large file sizes but one of the simplest possible formats to read. It's an older Windows format you'll mostly encounter in legacy software or basic screenshot tools.

Used in: Legacy Windows software · Basic screenshot tools

PNG

A PNG file stores images without losing any quality (lossless), and supports transparency. It's the default choice for screenshots, logos, icons, and any graphic that needs a see-through background.

Used in: Screenshots · Logos & icons · Graphics with transparency
